Jet Stream Sonic

The JetStream Sonic CIJ Small Character Printing System

Squid Ink’s JetStream® Sonic CIJ printing system is designed to print superior quality small characters on a variety of substrates: porous, non-porous, smooth, textured, curved, concave and more. Printing up to 5 lines of text, the JetStream Sonic offers a reliable, yet cost effective solution for virtually any small character, primary product coding application.

the JetStream Sonic CIJ printer operates at 94kHz vs. the current JetStream at 76.8kHz. The higher the kHz operating frequency, the more droplets that are available each second of print – 94,000 (JetStreamSonic) vs. 76,800 (JetStream). The increased droplet availability translates to an almost 20% higher print speed capability compared to the standard Jetstream CIJ printer. The higher operating frequency also allows the JetStream Sonic to come standard with a 50 micron nozzle.

Designed to Increase Productivity

JetStream Sonic offers users the latest in today’s technology. The system’s simple to use 10.1” color touchscreen interface features a number of options to help users make their mark on a variety of products while streamlining their coding operation. JetStream Sonic’s intuitive software allows users to print database messages straight from a USB drive, allowing users to print messages with variable database information. Users also have the option of selecting up to 16 quick-load messages for lines that require quick message changeover. For messages with graphic elements, JetStream Sonic’s onboard software lets users make changes to graphics by utilizing the systems on-board graphic editor. With JetStream Sonic’s intelligent system software, you can print what you want, when you want it.

Minimized Maintenance

The JetStream Sonic is designed with the low maintenance features that users have come to rely on from Squid Ink. JetStream Sonic’s self-cleaning printhead with CleanJet™ maintenance routine allows quick and easy automatic start-up and shutdown. A simple press of a button commands the printer to go through a start-up cycle or flush the system for shutdown. When routine maintenance is required, components can be swapped out within minutes eliminating the need to purchase expensive filter and pump assemblies or schedule costly service calls. In addition, annual PMs can be made in minutes simply by swapping the entire ink system with an affordably priced refurbished system.
